MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A 16-year-old boy armed with a knife was shot dead by police after stabbing a man in the Australian west coast city of Perth, officials said Sunday.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of a hardware store in suburban Willetton on Saturday night.
The teen allegedly attacked the man and then rushed at police officers before he was shot, Western Australian Premier Roger Cook told reporters on Sunday.
“There are indications he had been radicalized online,” Cook told a news conference.
